Peksman! (Until December 15)
Using “peksman” is similar to giving a gesture of a “pinky swear” to assure someone of a promise. Peksman! is an art exhibit that will feature works of professor and artist Marco Ruben Malto and his approach in the widespread of fake news circulating the country. This exhibit will also highlight works of art that will separate facts from fiction and will expose the truth how Filipinos end up being intellectual zombies controlled by those in power. The exhibit will take place at the Sining Kamalig Art Gallery, Araneta Center Cubao, Quezon City until December 15, 2017. Admission is free of charge.
